Hi all

I've been having a grand time reading through the posts around here! I'm relatively new to the business of straight razors, picking it up a year ago and getting more into collecting in recent months. Here is one of my more recent purchases - a New Zealand "Tiki" made for "England & McRae Timaru" (Timaru is a place in New Zealand). To my (possibly untrained) eye, almost everything about the Tiki resembles the Gotta 120. From the scales (including the lettering), the "TIKI" lettering on the tang where "GOTTA" usually appears, the shape...

Now I've read somewhere that others have collected razors that look similar to the Gotta 120, and have wondered the same thing: are (and how are) these related? Siblings from the same factory? Cousins? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
